  • Publication number: 20020082045
    Abstract: In a mobile telephone apparatus corresponding to dual-band provided with an RF power module to operate in two kinds of different frequencies, a common harmonics control circuit is provided to the output circuit of such RF power module to realize higher efficiency in view of controlling respective harmonics power for both band frequencies. Moreover, a means for selectively setting the bias is also provided so that the maximum efficiency can be attained depending on the output power required with respective communication systems with the bias control signal output from the CPU of the control unit interlocking with selection of frequency of the mobile telephone apparatus body. In addition, a switching element is also provided to such harmonics control circuit to enable the harmonics control without giving any influence on the radio frequency signal of each communication system.

  • Patent number: 5273640
    Abstract: An electrochemical gas sensor includes, as disposed on an insulating substrate, a plurality of electrodes for individually sensing a standard gas present in a surrounding atmosphere at a fixed concentration and a target gas present in the surrounding atmosphere, and a signal processing circuit for determining sensor life on the basis of sensed outputs of the standard gas. Constant detection of the sensitivity characteristics of the gas sensor is thereby attained for self-examination of the life thereof.
